Schweppes in 1783.
Within a decade of the invention of carbonated water by Joseph Priestley in 1767, inventors in Britain and in Europe had used his concept to produce the drink in greater quantities. One such inventor, J. J. Schweppe, formed Schweppes in 1783 and began selling the world's first bottled soft drink. Soft drink brands founded in the 19th century include R. White's Lemonade in 1845, Dr Pepper in 1885 and Coca-Cola in 1886.

The first soft drink to be bottled in history was likely ginger ale. It was first bottled by a pharmacist named Dr. Thomas Cantrell in Belfast, Ireland, in the late 18th century.
